Brody may have been the best of the nominees the year he won but non-nominated Michael Caine in The Quiet American was better.

It's good to see. They are the only winners who even deserved so much as a nomination.Franz Ferdinand wrote:I'm surprised the picks are so uniform, only Penn II, Day-Lewis and Brody have any votes. Nobody else thought Washington was great? :p

I actually think Washington is very good. It's a great against-type performance that carries a strong piece of entertainment that unfortunately does not sustain itself. He deserved the Oscar far more than Russell Crowe that year. I actually think that more actors should win for what Washington did in Training Day AND what Crowe did in Gladiator, which is to say carry a film in a star-making/breaking performance. Then again, neither nearly deserved it as much as Bardem or Wilkinson.

This was the first time I remember really studying a list of the Best Actor winners of the last ten years. And the last two winners were my favorites. Virtual tie between Penn and Bridges.
BTW, love the name Aughties for the decade. Has there been a consensus as to what name we should give the decade?

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living. Oliver Wendell Holmes
